Many of those people would shop or do business at the new Pinellas shopping area, but because there is NO easy way to cross 466A except near Colony, people use colony because it ends up being closer. If there was a tunnel or bridge under or over 466A near BuenaVista, I believe a great deal of people would choose to use the establishments at Pinellas and that would considerably reduce the traffic problem at colony

To the contrary, it's very easy for me to get to Pinellas shopping, closer in fact. But sometimes I CHOOSE to go to Publix, or Bealls, in which case I will be adding to the traffic. I keep hearing how the "NEW" people south of 466A should go to the new shopping. I think it's a little forward that anyone could even think to tell me where to shop. Remember, I'm dealing with the traffic also.
